Pipe SmokerThe new border wall works
“Two illegal immigrants have been arrested after they unsuccessfully tried to climb over a newly installed section of a border wall in California.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said they caught the two men trying to illegally cross over into San Diego from Mexico.
Surveillance footage taken from the border showed the men trying and failing to scale the border wall…”

gearhoundsOf equal importance to the actual barrier is the surveillance and ability to respond to attempted breaching rapidly. This incident is a perfect example of the system working. That is why Trump needs to stop calling the whole process “the wall” and refer to it as simply “border security”. It would be a lot easier to sell to the leftist politicians.

nhtagmemberagreed but the leftists don't believe in border security so it really doesn't matter what you call it to them - they will always be against it

The left wants no border at all and you think there's room for honest discussion to change minds?
Why do you think the left is so opposed to a wall? It's not the expense, which is the only excuse they can use without coming right out with their agenda. The most sophisticated surveillance technology in the world can simply be shut down and ignored. And that's precisely what they'll do as soon as they are able. However, you can't press a button and shut down a physical barrier. That's why they don't want a wall.
